i was brought up the same way my father always told me if someone hit me i was to hit them back and twice as hard so they thought twice about doing it again he also told me when my mother was out of earshot that if the person was bigger than me i was to pick up the nearest thing to hand and smash their head in with it and not to stop till the ambulance came needless to say i speny most of my teens chasing the bigger kids around with a baseball bat
